Legitimate Marriage agencies?

[bhayes30]

A quick question. What are some of the legitimate marriage agencies that have good reputations? and what cities are they in the Ukraine or Russia?

i there are agencies that do tours that are run by american men and they have some sort resources in area they operate in . But what about those agencies that are in that country/town that deal directly with the women who are in the area of that woman?

what is the best way to approach this?

what are the best cities for this.

St. Petersburg,

Ukraine: Odessa, Poltava, Kiev, Kharkov?

i would think that marriage agencies that do tough screening of the ladies and men as well that have a success rate would be a legitimate agency.

take for example this one here.

he emphasizes the fact that he SCREENS women and creatres a situation where they scammer women are singled out and not considered.

i only ask because there are so very many websites and i hear there is alot of scam too and i believe there is

There are no good agencies.
They all push a woman to meet a gentleman even if she is not attracted to him.

It's better to be rejected after writing the first email than after flying to a woman who has no interest in you.

From what I've been reading, agencies don't have much incentive to do honest business but plenty of incentive $$$ to run scams. I know a few guys who met their wives through marriage agencies and some of those women are wonderful. But I think that they are a tiny minority. If I were single right now I personally would never use a MOB agency, it doesn't make any sense IMO.

BHHayes,
 
Please do not think marriage agency.  Think introduction agency. 
 
Avoid agencies who charge a fee for each correspondence (each email letter).   In contrast, use agencies which charge a flat fee for 3-6 months of membership,  with free correspondence after joining (membership should not cost more than $100).  Please review Elena's Models for an example of the legitimate introduction agency.   Please review Anastasia Web International for an example of what to avoid.   
 
Compare the women in the two agencies.  This should tell you something.  If you write a woman at Anastasia, you will receive a romantic response.  The question is - who wrote the response?  If you write a woman at Elena's Models, she may ignore you or just say "Not Interested."  Even if the Elena's woman is interested, the letter may seem confusing.
 
 
There are also the free sites such as Mamba.

Good points. ok then. if all MOB agencies are bad. then what "introduction" service should be considered?

these two guys here have joined forces and they focus on poltava for now.

It takes two to produce a scam.  The 2nd is often an "easy mark".  Check dictionary for easy mark ==> chump, doormat, easy pickings, fall guy, patsy, pigeon, prize sap, pushover, sitting duck, sucker, trusting soul, born yesterday, dupable, green, overtrusting, swallow whole, taken in, unquestioning, unsuspecting, unsuspicious, unwary, fish, fool, sap....



I am on the putting green at Lexington Revere golf club in Vegas.  I see a guy that played in front of me the previous day.  Appeared to be an easy mark.  I ask if he cares to join me.  On 1st tee I say "Why don't we make it more interesting?  How about a 50 nassau?".  Easy pickings.  I win.  Does that mean I will hustle every guy I play golf with for $150?  Not likely.


Likewise with the ladies.  They see so many fall guys.  They think "This is usually so boring.  Let's make it more interesting.  If he turns out to be a chump, I will try to take him for a $30 lunch, $70 dinner, then maybe a $50 dress gift after."  Easy pickings.  Does that mean she will sucker every guy she meets?  Probably not.


Question is in your matchups will you be an easy mark or will you have some game?  Will you lay up or go for it?  Or will you look for an easier golf course?


Would you like to play a round with this one:

Question is, do you want to be married to one of those? I sure don't! I prefer to be married to a normal girl from a good family who comes from the background and the place where they wouldn't even think about taking advantage of some one just because he is trusting and naive.

Eduard....are you saying you have never gone out on a date with a lady
with an alternative motive other than a future marriage partner?

Off course I have, but I don't see how it relates to my post.
